Title: I'll Give This A Try
Description: Cast Call


Rena - June 17, 2007 02:22 AM (GMT)
I think I might have begun posting the original version of this story here a few years ago under a different name, but I had completely forgotten I was even a member back then until I located my old screen name in the Member List. It was originally written with a brilliant co-author. Sadly, I have not heard from her in years. Seeing as I love the storyline behind this plot, I have decided to re-write it on my own.

Here are the characters who will be in the story:

Sean Astin
Orlando Bloom
Billy Boyd
Dominic Monaghan
Liv Tyler
Elijah Wood


I'm not exactly sure how many characters I will be needing, but I know there will need to at least be Liv's best friend and a girlfriend or two for the others (except for Sean). I may need a few other(s) as the story goes along, but that'll be it for now.

If interested, please leave me the following information:

Name:

Age:

Choice of Character:

Detailed Personality:

Character Background: (How you met your significant other, if any.....where you grew up....what your homelife is like....etc.)

What, in your opinion, is the worst of the Seven Deadly Sins?

I'm interested!!


Name:
Anna Sophia Deshamps


Age:
24


Choice of Character:
I wouldn't mind if I'm Elijah's girlfriend or Orlando's girlfriend... :tsk: Even sweet Dom sounds tempting!


Physical Description:
Long dark brown hair, pale skin with some freckles. Big hazel eyes. I'm average kind of tall, thin with strong legs. I have Spanish Heritage so that it's the explanation of my kind of thin-curvy body.


Detailed Personality:
I'm very friendly andloyal. For me, my friends and my family is the first. I'm romantico but never cheesy! I like being independent and I hate feel possesed by someone. I like making my own decisions and following my intuition. I love animals, and if I could I'd have whole farm just for my pets! I like children and I want to have children some day but not yet. I still need time. I'm kind of stubborn and anxious. I'm the kind of girl that can make a big drama out of absolutely nothing and then after two seconds I'll forget about it. Though, I'm not a tiny bit of jealous because I don't like jealous people so I'm not one of them. I'm compettive and active, i hate doing nothing.


Character Background: (How you met your significant other, if any.....where you grew up....what your homelife is like....etc.)
My father is Spanish, my mom is Italian. I came to ______ (depends, if Orlando, London, as well as Dom, if it's Elijah then USA) because I wanted to study a master in finances after my major, and that's when I met him. I was crossing the street when he accidently hit me, not a big thing but he made a big thing and took me to the hospital. I was left with just bruises but with a very thankful man because I didn't make everything public (why would I do that?). I'm still studying my master and it's killing me, as well, I started working part time in a bank and it's quite exciting. Even though, I'm ready to stop doing it if he asks me so. I really love him and I feel that I can work everything out just to be with him. I have a dog named Baileys and a chinchilla called Bono. I love them to death. I have a younger sister named Theresa and she lives in Spain.


Favorite Music:
I like the alternative kind of folk music. Think about something between Jeff Buckley, Tom Petty, etc. Then mix it up with indie music, and for something more you add music from soundtracks and you'll have my itunes list!


Favorite Books:
Gone with the wind
House of Spirits
Like water for Chocolate
Farewell to Arms


Favorite TV Shows:
Grey's Anatomy!! :love:

Envy

Character Background: (How you met your significant other, if any.....where you grew up....what your homelife is like....etc.) She was born in Chicago, Illinois to Jean and Paul Peterson. She was on break from college (she's studying to become a massage therapist) and decided to go on a vacation spree around the world.

Can you create banners for me? No...don't know how to make them and don't have the software to create banners.


Mena - June 18, 2007 08:42 AM (GMT)
New stories are like chocolate-covered coffee beans!!! :yes:

I am not sure whether you sill need people or not, but I'm posting my info nevertheless:

Name: Deidre Williams

Age: 26

Choice of Character: whatever suits the story is fine... I know not all of us can have a man in a story, and it's perfectly understandale that I don't get one since I got here late. Just for the record, though, I used to be the number one Viggo fan, and it looks like you have some LOTR actors here, so...

Physical Description: 5'5" of height for 100 ibs, quite slender, not athletic but not wobbly, either. :-p Cerulean eyes, a very pale complexion and curly red hir, shouldder-length.

Detailed Personality: Outspoken with my friends, but I don't need to be in the spotlight all the time. As much as I love long conversations, I can handle solitude exremely well. I'm not a social addict, not at all. Quite jealous of my privacy, I need some time to do my own things, basically reading, writing or doing stuff for my job. I have a gift for compromise, I can make ends meet in any kind of situation, and I'm very patient. I'm not a leader because I don't enjoy telling people what do do, but I'm supportive enough to be the perfect second in charge. I rarely get angry, but when I do, it's the cold kind of anger... and I'm very, very witty and sarcastic, all the time.

Character Background: (How you met your significant other, if any.....where you grew up....what your homelife is like....etc.) I'm the only child, my dad is a shrink and my mom is an US attorney, and I was raised in Baltimore. Isn't it enough to suggest how weird I am? Anyway, I graduated in Literature at the Northwestern university of Chicago, then Majored in foreign languages at the univesrity of Moscow. I currently speak five languages and I work for an international financial company... basically, I solve problems. I walk up to the Russians, the Americans and the Japanese and make them communicate, organize their trips, lunches and conventions (not personally, of course), and I fix the mess they do. If you decide to give me a significant other, I met him at the airport of Sidney while we were both waiting for our planes to go home. We weren't on the same plane, and I was very surprised when he called me the following day.

Favorite Music: Def Leppard, Aerosmith, Smashing Pumpkins, Matchbox Twenty, Madonna, Shakira, Robbie Williams, Metallica, Muse, Guns 'n Roses.

Favorite Books: Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, John Marsden's War Series, Harry Potter, and everything Shakespeare... and, I'm dead serious!

Favorite TV Shows: House MD, Prison Break, Grey's Anatomy, Nip/Tuck

Favorite Movies: Fight Club, The Matrix, Kill Bill, The Snatch, Elizabethtown, Shrek, Moulin Rouge

Fears: Failure most of all.

Likes: Reading and going to the movies. I need a lot of time alone, and I'm not the knd who has huge group of friends. I'd rather stick with a few good ones, and it doesn't matter if he are differen from me. I mean, we can have different tastes, as long as we get along and understand each other. I'm not at all into a healthy lifestyle: I smoke, drink alcohol (not much, mind) and I love hot food. When I'm nervous, I usually drive for a long time or walk with my music on. That's the only physical activity I like.

Dislikes: Rude people, control freaks, bossy people, insensitive people and backstabbers. I'm not a very outdoor kind of girl, I'm not afraid of insects but hey annoy me to ltimate ends... and I'm not into sports, either.

What, in your opinion, is the worst of the Seven Deadly Sins? Sloth

Why? Because it's like you lock yourself in and refuse to live your life, and this is heultimate act of selfishness that in the end will damage other people too, and sooner than you think.

Person for a Banner: Emily Blunt with red hair, Alicia Witt

Can you create banners for me? Sure I can! I have some stuff up in the graphics section of the board for you to decide if yo like my creations or not. :blush: But I must warn you, Im home on weekends only so perhaps it might ake me some time to do banners!


This is it... I hope it's interesting enough!

I apologize for the amount of time it is taking to get this story going. Things have been really hectic because we moved to a new state & I've been getting the kids set up in their new school and getting myself started in my new job. I almost have the Prologue ready for posting. Be on the lookout for it within the next day or so in The Lads section. Also, Mena was gracious enough to create banners for this....I'll PM them as soon as I post this!
